What do you fear?

There has been many times in my life in which I had to make hard decisions. I have prayed, I have cried out and questioned God,"Lord what is your will for my life?" "what is it that you want me to do at this moment; at this time?" Have you ever been in that place?

In the past I have let my heart be troubled when thinking of such decisions, but today I want to encourage the brokenhearted. I want to answer that prayer you have asked for so long. It is so simple....and I know what you're thinking, probably rolling your eyes because you know that walking with God has not been the easiest thing ever...but He is not complicated. I think we are. You want to know God's will for your life?

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

16Be joyful always; 17pray continually; 18give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

Let me tell you that Fear will always have a hold in your life until you realize that the only one that should be feared IS God alone.
Isaiah 8

2 "Do not call conspiracy
everything that these people call conspiracy [a] ;
do not fear what they fear,
and do not dread it.

13 The LORD Almighty is the one you are to regard as holy,
he is the one you are to fear,
he is the one you are to dread,

"he is the one you are to fear"

So let me go back, what is God will for your life?

To be always joyful,
To never stop praying,
to give thanks in EVERYTHING that comes your way....

IN every circumstance we should not fear what is to come, but only He, Our Lord and Savior. Don't let your heart be troubled...this is a promise that we should all hold on to. What a freedom it is to know that I should not have to fear anything but the Lord himself! And if we know God, that last statement should not scare us. Because we Know that God works for the good of those who love Him.
